  • YES! My last day of school was today! I'm finally out of that stinkin' trap of educational boringness! I don't go back until Aug. 28, 2006.

    Oskar - Have you seen NS 9371? It has a weird horn on it. I can't describe it, and also, how about the NS 9206, it is also weird. Did something happen to these units?

  • Rick- I have before but nothing wierd was up with them or wasn't in the lead. 8979 had a old Southern horn on it. The horn sound wierdness is from the air pressure form the brakes I belive my freind Paul said that.

    I also found out where C&O 4617 is...... HERE in Augusta on FO16 with CSX 8672. It also got some equipment added to it as it has gotten ditchlights. NOTE it is a rule to have ditchlights on all engines running I guess 4601 is next.
    This is the 8th straight time I have seen something rare
    5/27 CSX 4677 in Electro-motive colors
    5/28 CSX 6412 in Trona RR colors and CSX 6899
    5/29 GMTX GP38-2
    5/30 ex GM&O GP10
    6/1 SD38
    6/3 TFM SD70
    6/4 CSX SD50-2
    6/7 C&O SD40

    Also welcome to summer break where ya been? I have been off since May 19 man ITS ALL GOOD.

  • Chris, Do I have a link? Of course I have a link! Try 261's website: www.261.com All the information on the run is on that page.

  • Oskar - if only rare things would come that often through Ohio here, man would I be in heaven with just one of those sightings that you mentioned!

    And by the way - do you have a link to your photos or is there a webpage I can go to to see your photos? I would really like to see them!

    Chris - Yeah man! Summer break at long last! All of the schools here in Ohio are pretty hoaxy and they rip you off by giving you a pretty short summer break!

    Yessir, but it's nothing special. I think it's the equivalent of four miles around the downtown, but there is a new plan to extend service south to a new grocery store and apartments.


    Yeah i remember reading about it somewhere. And who cares if it is nothing special? I say if it runs on rails i like it

  • I've got about three hours of school myself tomorrow and then I'm done. I've only got one exam and my study hall period tomorrow, so I can leave right after the exam, I don't have to stay and sit around for two hours in a Study hall. Should allow me to get a lot of stuff done tomorrow now that I won't have anything to do with school left.

    So now that we are all getting out of school, what do you guys have for railfan/model railroading plans for the summer?

    Myself I'm going to be quite busy. I've got a roundhouse to scratchbuild/kitbash for my module. I'm also planning to make myself a website on www.trainweb.org and I also want to get a GP38 I've got painted up for the WSOR. Really those are just the first three things on the list, as I've got a heck of a lot of other things planned, but those are the main three.

    I'm also going to be doing quite a bit of Railfanning in the Wisconsin/Illinois/Minnesota area this summer. Between the 261 trip and just railfanning around the area I should be busy. And I'll be heading to Philly and Washington D.C. in July for the Nation Model Railroad Show out there this year. Should be pretty cool.

    So how about you guys?

  • Well, i got out yesterday. Went to Valley Fair yesterday and then off to my buddies house with my other friends. Long story short, we played Ding Dong Ditch from 1:30 to about 4:00 AM. I slept from 5 AM to 10:30 this morning. Got home, caught the WC ( GTW 5945 ex KCS,CN 5720, and some CN SD40-2 ) came back, made a brat lol. Then went to sleep from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm. So I wasted some of my day, which pisses me off, but it was a nice night i tell you what.

    For plans, I have basketball camp from the 11th-16th, so summer doesnt really start till i get back.

    Check my rrpicture archves page, now the 6th installment of the New Brighton series, labeled New Brighton 6.

  • Oskar - You wont believe what I saw today while railfanning in Akron. These links should make it pretty self explanatory:

    CSX is two numbers away from 5400 now and I am definately expecting a 5400 by the end of this month if I get out railfanning enough.
